The article is from a month ago, about a layoff that happened half a month before that, so this all happened before the ai rollout when they were probably still optimistic it was a good idea

I was recently asked to make a small Android app using flutter, which I had never touched before

I used chatgpt at first and it was so painful to get correct answers, but then made an agent or whatever it’s called where I gave it instructions saying it was a flutter Dev and gave it a bunch of specifics about what I was working on

Suddenly it became really useful…I could throw it chunks of code and it would just straight away tell me where the error was and what I needed to change

I could ask it to write me an example method for something that I could then easily adapt for my use

One thing I would do would be ask it to write a method to do X, while I was writing the part that would use that method.

This wasn’t a big project and the whole thing took less than 40 hours, but for me to pick up a new language, setup the development environment, and make a working app for a specific task in 40 hours was a huge deal to me… I think without chatgpt, just learning all the basics and debugging would have taken more than 40 hours alone

In other words, a big customer finally got effected

Many years ago I had a Facebook account under my real name, and they blocked it and told me to verify … I did everything they asked and they wouldn’t accept it… I recreated it under a fake name (very obvious it’s fake since it uses a celeb name) and have been using it for messaging a couple of friends for like a decade now with no issue

Did they really need ai for that? Surely if they needed a script they could have just asked on stack overfl…oh

Here let me fix that for you

EU: demands changes to allow non-verifiable software

Apple: disagrees, but allows it does half assed job to try and make regulations look bad for its users

platform browser less secure

TheRegister: Damned Apple!!

That sounds like the start of a horror movie

It’s got romance, action, comedy, fantasy, safe for kids and families… Covers most groups

The difference is that there were concerns Huawei would share the data with the Chinese government for them to spy on various groups/individuals

Most countries like America have no problem with you selling the data to other companies or governments (the US Gov themselves buy huge amounts of data) to spy on you, just not to the Chinese government.

So if the data stays with Toyota (or the people they sell it to), they aren’t likely to upset the governments… But if the data is directly shared with Huawei, it’s likely to run into some pretty quick walls

You can do this pretty easily using asterisk and then just point your VoIP clients to it’s IP address

But…

Whatever you do, unless you’re an expert with network security, don’t leave it on its default port if you’ll expose it to the internet.

You’ll have that many bots trying to get in that it’ll DDoS you within a few hours of setting it up. Even if you have it on a different port, you’ll have lots of bots trying to get in.

If you ever see those “unlimited international calls” cards sold in third world countries for like $5-10, those are mostly hacked VoIP systems that have accounts or access to a phone line

This looks great, I don’t suppose you plan on a pre-made docker container?

And how many payments the politicians take from local/competing car companies haha

Will probably depend on if the data stays with Toyota or is shared with Huawei

It’s ok, you put them out flat in the sun and all creases get smoothed out

For a bit of context for those not too familiar with CDN stuff. My web server hosts about 20 small business websites. None are heavy on images or video or anything else. Most sites have well under 1k visitors a day, some are under 100.

Each month CloudFlare CDN saves me between 40-60gb of traffic which is nothing my server couldn’t handle, but over a year is ~600gb in saved data so it adds up

If you had a Lemmy instance with even just 100 active users, with all the images and videos and all the federated background communications, that would add up extremely quickly.

It’s a shitty situation that’s causing mods and users alike a lot of frustration and might be a bit before it’s sorted.

Unfortunately I think this is something that will need to be dealt with Federation wide before it’s under control… But even then it’ll still add a lot of extra ongoing work to the mods of instances and communities just to clean up anything that gets through

It’s not just this community, or even just Lemmy… Mastodon and other Federation services all struggling with the same issue at the moment

You know how artists can poison their images for AI… We need a way to poison content on Reddit

We are going to need more information than “didn’t work”

What errors during windows install? What software did you use to clone it? Where are you trying to select it to boot from? In bios or in the windows boot option?
